Most women don't like hugely muscular freaks anyway. You're doing it to impress the other dudes at the gym and no other real reason at that point.

I think you're 100% right. When I was still teaching I had an "academic body." I wasn't overweight, but I was flabby. No muscle definition. My wife and I had a lot of sex. Now I'm doing more physical things by choice, including some working out. I'm quite defined at this point. 6'2" at 175 and absolutely no pudge anywhere. My wife and I still have a lot of sex. It hasn't changed. Just like her pre-children, pregnant, post-pregnant, and menopausal doesn't change my attraction to her. My wife is happy that I am healthier, and so am I. But if I bulked up with roids or whatever she would be very unimpressed.

Today is the lightest I've weighed in over two years. Still been keeping up with walking during raid nights 4x a week for on average 3 hours. Did a 5.5 hour walk Friday night. Started adding the gym on non-raid days. 30min on the bike and then pick 5 arm weight machines and do 30 or 50 reps at low weight for now just to start out, depending on the machine. Feeling pretty good about it so far. Was at my heaviest ever last August at 232 and now back down to 211. Saw the body fat % start with a 3 for the first time since I've been measuring it. Long way to go, but happy to see some shitty numbers start going down.

Anyone recommend an app or something just to log weight machines? I'm just writing stuff in a note, ATM, but it would be nice to have something more organized so I can track progress over time.

I've always been a bigger dude but I've been just watching my diet and doing some light exercise to try and get a little healthier in my old age. I officially dropped 100 lbs this week since May last year.

Both of you are awesome! It isn't about getting ripped, it's about being healthy, and you guys are doing it. Good for you!

Being consistent is really hard, losing 100 pounds is an accomplishment. Keep it up you guys.
